The Porta Brace ATV-633 is a military-style audio tactical vest designed to safely hold and provide convenient access to a Sound Devices 633 recorder and related accessories for sound recordists, mixers, and boom operators in ENG, television, video production, and field recording. Combining the functionality of a bag and harness, the adjustable vest delivers comfortable support and even weight distribution while preserving mobility and equipment access. Padding minimizes fatigue, and the mesh back ensures breathability.

Attach your most commonly needed items to the front of the vest, and store lesser-needed contents on the rear. An NP1 pocket offers a consistent location for your batteries, with additional storage courtesy of an iPad pouch, phone and pen holders, and a rain cover that can serve as an extra pouch. Between recordings, a dedicated clip can hold your boompole so you can rest your arms.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the lemo TC compatible with the 833?

A: Yes, the LEMO 5-pin timecode connector on the Remote Audio CABETASD633 ENG Breakaway Cable is compatible for use with the Sound Devices 833 Field Recorder.

Q: 2. Does this product (Porta Brace ATV-633 Audio Tactical Vest for Sound Devices 633) come along with the bag for the 633? I know the title says Tactical Vest but the pictures show the bag and nowhere in the description does it say that the bag is not included or that the bag is sold separately.

A: The bag at the front is included as part of the vest/harness and fits the Sound Devices 633 and Zaxcom MAXX.

Q: 3. Is the bag removable from the harness and does it come with a separate shoulder strap?

A: No, it's an all in one package. Everything is attached making it have better support. ( There are attachments, like extra pockets and other holders that can be taken on and off) . It's great for run and gun stuff, nothing bouncing around while you're on the move, and It's easy to slip on and off. Also the boom holder that comes with it, is very helpful.

Q: 4. Is there another version of this cable that has a true stereo RTN?

A: The RTN L+R pins are summed to a single pin as a limitation of the 8pins available in these NeutriCon connectors. To give the Timecode's ground isolation from the XLR audio (to avoid that pesky TC Bleed), they are out of pins. The cable itself has enough wires to accommodate a true stereo return... it crossed my mind to replace the connectors with XLR-10pin, but those are not as easily "breakaway-able". So either way, it's a trade-off.
